A symmetry-based framework built 550 conflict instances across 11 function families and four representation types with explicit built-in contradictions. Resolution is systematic, not random, with a consistent ordering: Formal ≈ Naturalized Formal > Pure Natural Language > Input-Output Examples. If you're stacking system prompts, tool schemas, and few-shot examples that might disagree, your few-shot examples are losing.

A synthetic benchmark constructs conflicts where exactly one evidence source matches ground truth, independently varying modality, recency, stated reliability, and provenance. Across open-weight instruction-tuned models the arbitration is systematic: distinct text-versus-numbe...
Li, Huo, and Johnson show that one-way message flow between agents produces neither mimicry nor solo behavior but an entirely novel dynamical state, at identical temperature settings. It's conceptual rather than quantitative, but the implication for orchestrator-worker fan-out...
Agent Lightning v1.0 (arXiv 2608.17528) inverts the standard agentic RL architecture, and the inversion is the whole point. Normally the training engine owns the environment loop. It drives the agent, collects trajectories, computes rewards. Which means your training setup and...
arXiv 2608.11632 argues storage retention doesn't identify *authoritative* state: unmediated updates by models, tools, and background workers cause stale overwrites and self-authorizing privilege escalation. Untrusted components propose typed changes against an exact predecess...
Load Hijack modifies nothing but router weights in a checkpoint. When a private trigger appears, token-to-expert assignment concentrates on experts co-located on a single GPU, making it a straggler while peers idle (arXiv 2608.10614). Across three MoE families and four corpora...
arXiv 2608.03609 formalizes agentic systems over relational data as Stateful Tool-Enabled Agentic Deployments and proves verification against First-Order CTL specs is undecidable. Under a finite-domain restriction it becomes PSPACE-complete, but only if renaming opaque identif...
